Hatch Chile and Lemon Rice Salad

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Sweet, sour, salty and crunchy this easy, make ahead roasted Hatch chile and lemon rice salad recipe goes great with anything off the grill!I've got a little "hatch chile fever" going on at the moment so hang in there. This should be the last hatch recipe for a while.. I think 🙂 This Hatch Chile and Lemon Rice salad has been on my mind for a while. Last winter when I had no fresh hatch chiles!!! and my frozen stash had dwindled to almost nothing, I was thinking about this salad. So I  made some notes and filed it away to await my new supply of hatch chiles.  So you see, I kinda had to make this salad - and it was sooo tasty I wanted to share it!!!

I think you are really going to like this one -  it's sweet, sour, crunchy and well,  punchy... there is a lot going on with this salad - chiles, bell peppers, zucchini, avocado and corn - which is just the way I like it.  If you've taken a peek at the recipe, don't freak out and the long list of ingredients because this Hatch Chile and Lemon Rice Salad is really two different recipes. The first is for a Lemon Relish  - which btw, is terrific on fish and chicken so I'd make a double batch - use it with chicken or fish one night and use the rest in this salad for later in the week.

And since  fall has officially started and we are all returning to "the routine" anything I can "make once, eat twice" goes to the top of my list of things to make -  like this Hatch Chile and Lemon Rice Salad.

    I am a Hatch Chile love as well so I know that feeling of running low and the panic it brings! This salad is gorgeous; summer in a bowl. Yes, SUMMER. Fall will come soon enough won't it? 🙂

      In my case, I am really hoping so!!! Last "winter" was a bust - 80 to 90 degree temps from Jan onwards... really?? But for you guys, I'd definitely be enjoying every last minute - with this salad of course:-)!!!

      Hi Diane! Tanjin is a mexican seasoning that combines chile and lime - the company has been making a major push in the US. I find it in the produce section (I know, spices in the produce section??) of my local market. It's used in Mexico on mangos for a snack. Here's a link to the product! http://www.tajin.com/
      Hope you enjoy the salad!!
